  • Methods to detect water leaks in irrigation systems using a pump energy consumption data
    Patent number: 9823156
    Abstract: Water leaks in irrigation systems may be detected by analysis of water pump energy consumption data captured from a utility power meter. Unlike existing solutions that use water meters or acoustic sensors, embodiments of the present apparatus and methods described herein detect water leaks based upon the electrical load associated with the water pump(s) in irrigation lines. These methods have the advantage of not requiring any extra hardware at the site of the irrigation system.
